My father bought a few thousand as you call em idiot cubes ( your right about those after seeing how much faster the other way is ) and the farmer said to use one of the back up kicker type metal hay wagons, the one the farmer whacked into a tree and distorted the metal frame etc. back up back up for him.... ok well 200 bales hand packed, each load, for about 3000 worth. Farmer and my father probably close in age, both would just hook onto it and drop the pin, no don't worry about the cotter key, just drop the pin, it's good. You know the type Tire pressure, bearing grease, these are non essential optional items to them. Comical ain't it ? I'm always the one checking those things and getting after people to do the same thing. Yours truly ended up carting that wagon 15-20 miles each way, until his mow was empty, 2 lane state road, used to be rural, but a little busy at times now, guy in a convertible enjoyed some chaff one day.... testing the horn a little while passing. Last load in, I heard a bearing, oh and the side door hinges were so rusted up, both pairs just about fell off after some recent use at the same time, hangin in the breeze, with all the flexing from the farmers tree incident, wow what a wreck. Now how would anyone consciously bring that back to where you got it like that.
Did that bearing, checked, re-packed the rest, got the stick welder up there, straightened some metal, made it strong again, was hotter than.... out, trying to use stick on thin metal for the first time, got the doors back on, made sure it went back right, his daughter worked for us, she brought it back on the way home. He's in the field with it, tie rod for the steering comes apart, he says someone sabotaged it. I dunno, things get weird when you borrow something, towing that wagon was an accident waiting to happen, never again, bought a truck for hauling or have it delivered.
